"Hey Stevie! I heard you have a crush!" I wiggled my eyebrows as I find him staring at Alana playing in the pool with Alex.

"Wha- no! Who told you that!" He looked like he was going to piss his pants.

He looked back at Alana, his cheeks flushing red making me gasp.

"You DO HAVE A CRUSH! OMG this is so exciting!" I scream loud enough to capture the sibling's attention.

Dear Steve looked like he was going to puke. When I noticed Alana's smile fell from her face.

Oh this is perfect.

"She is so lucky to have you crushing on her! Tell me, tell me is she cute? Is she young and fabulous? Do you get butterflies? Do you feel the electricity when you touch her?" I asked.

"....yes" he mumbled looking down.

Alana looked like she was fuming! And her brother mirrored her image.

Well I don't know what his problem is? Maybe it's some weird brother-sister thing.

"Tell me all about her!" I looked at Alana, "Please please please!" I hugged him.

"It's uh...not the right time.... I'll uh...see you later!" He hurried past me to his room and Alana's eyes followed him like a little puppy.

She finally looked at me and I greeted them "Oh fancy seeing you there! Did you know Stevie has a crush on someone?" I added more Oil in the fire. It worked as Alana stomped off to her room leaving me and Alex alone.

"Hey-"

"I'm going to take a bath" Alex cut me off and stomped off to the other direction.

Feeling alone and chilly outside I went in to find Steve. I had an arm grab me and drag me inside a storage room with dusty objects. I turned to find Steve there; his blue eyes deep and blonde hair contrasting to the red in his cheeks and neck.

"What the hell Ariana! What were you thinking? Alex will kill me if he found out about this! I can't let this get out now" He argued.

"Well maybe it's time you did something about this or else I'm coming clean to Alex and then you can face the consequences...Alone!" I replied smugly.

"You're insufferable!" He exclaimed.

"Is this the way to the Dragon Dungeon you promised?" I distractedly looked at a locked door.

"You are going to reduce my life span and all you can think of is dragons?" He banged his head against the door.

"If you are done being dramatic I need to get back to my boyfriend, which you'll never be until you tell your crush you like her!" I slammed the door open and ran into Mia.

"Oh! Oof hey I'm sorry I was just-" she scrambled for words.

"No I'm sorry I shouldn't be banging doors everywhere haha" I apologized.

I thought I heard a loud door being shut somewhere making us both flinch, "I guess I'm not the only one eh?" We laughed although her's was more forced.

"See you!" I headed back to Alex's room.

I saw Brian in the living room laying across the sofa watching someone pawn something.

"Hey Brian I heard you got a pretty lady trapped" I smirked.

"You know you wish it was you" he laughed.

"Uh huh of course I do, I wouldn't want to miss out on these muscles would I?" I flopped down next to him.

"You are one of a kind you know that?" Brain ruffled my hair.

"Hey do not do that! You will either be dead or WISH you were dead" I said in a deep voice.

"Oh yeah you'll be the perfect bride for little Alexander" he laughed heartily.

There you go making things sappy.

"Yeah well Feyona would look great in a wedding dress too!" I changed the subject.

"Yeah and she would want you to make the Choco chip chocolate cake for the wedding!" He smirked.

"Aww she told you about the story? That was supposed to be our little secret!" I covered my face.

"Don't worry your secret's safe with me" He tapped my shoulder.

"I should get going I've got an angry boyfriend to deal with, you better invite me for your wedding from both sides!" I said while walking away.

"You know it!" He went back to laying on the sofa.

~•~

I found Alex just as he came out of a steamy shower, towel on his waist and beady water slipping down his toned chest.

He gave me a look and went to his closet murmuring something about having fun with my crush.

"What was that?" I followed him into the closet.

"I said did you have fun with your crush?" He mocked.

"Steve my crush? Oh please he's too cute and already taken" I said.

"You seemed interested in his crush though? Jealous?" He asked fumbling in the pile of t-shirts.

"Oh please if I was jealous the whole city would know and back off" I walked towards him handing him his favourite shirt that fell out of the pile.

"Yeah and who would you be jealous for?" He took my hand towards him along with the t-shirt.

"We were standing real close in the cozy closet, his hair dripping water on my hand with he held.

"You" I confessed.

The next second we were all over each other, the shirt now forgotten as he picked me up, my legs wrapped around his waist.

We walked to his bedroom and he flopped me on the bed and slowly crawled on me.

"I think I know who's the jealous one here" I laughed.

"Of course I am" he said looking into my eyes.

"I want you to be mine Ari" he kissed me.

"I think I'm already yours" I said, my voice lower than a whisper. I was almost going to cry that this was my last day with him.

~The naughty wave is here to interrupt you~

~Back to the PG chapter~

I was snuggled in Alex's arms basking in the warmth when Alex kissed my neck.

"I need to tell you something" he whispered.

"Um hmm" I turned and snuggled into his chest pulling the blanket upwards.

"I know this is something you are not the kind of person would like to hear this and I'm not the kind of person to say this, but just know that you don't have to say anything..."

I know where this is going. And as much as I would love to hear the rest of his confession...I can't do that to him.

"Why don't we wait till the end of our date" I proposed.

"What you want to say is obviously special and close to you, it will give you some time to prepare" I moved a little back.

"You have the best ideas did you know that" he smiled and kissed me gently.

This might be one of the worst I've had.

I was back in my dull greyish blue Room, which could be my last time here. I packed my carry on bag with some essentials like my burner phone, gun and clothes. I was putting on the last touches of the make-up Alana offered so kindly when I saw the mobile light up with a text from the corner of my eye.

Leave your bag out of your window, we will extract you at 0400.

If they come anywhere near this mansion they will risk losing their cover and mine along with hurting someone on their way.

No need I'm going out, I'll see you at Café Decent.

We have a bag ready.

So that's their plan. This is going to be much more difficult than I anticipated.

~•~

We were at a luxurious hotel having the meal of our life even though the portions were too small for my appetite.

Alex looked dashing in his dark blue blazer with a vest on his white button up shirt.

He had that look in his eyes. The one that made me feel like I'm the only one in the world worthy of his attention.

I could stop running my arms on his, holding his hand, he obviously had no idea of my anxiety and enjoyed being needed.

We walked out after dinner waiting for our valet to bring the car around.

"So...this was great" he wrapped his arms around me.

"Yeah I feel like I just came from a tea party" I joked.

"You know we can stop by somewhere else if you want?" He asked concerned.

"I was just thinking how I crave a normal priced coffee...but let's take a long drive before that shall we?" I suggested, not wanting the night to end soon. Or my life.

"You know... I'm really not...the kind of girl...who can wear this for more than an hour" I panted as I put on my sweats and removed the tight fitting dress. Alex had already discarded his blazer and vest. And I needed a reason to bring my bag.

"We are here" he smiled watching me from the rear view mirror.

He got out of the car and held his hand out helping me out of the car as we went around and sat on the hood.

"This is beautiful Alex" my eyes sparkled from the city lights looking like a galaxy on earth from the cliff Alex brought us to.

"I always come up hear to find some peace" he wrapped an arm around me.

"I might have to steal your spot" I laughed.

"We can come up here together if you want?" He kissed my cheek.

Uh-oh. I felt like crying.

"I think this is the perfect spot to-"

"Let's go get that coffee!" I interrupted his hand and his train of thoughts.

"Now?" He asked confused.

"Yes right now! Chop chop we don't have time" I jumped off the hood and into the car.

"You really need coffee this late? It's almost 4 AM" He laughed shaking his head and getting into the driver's seat.

"Yeah, 4 AM" I looked out the window to hide a stray tear that left my eyes.

We reached Café Decent right on time. I got out of the car scanning the area, looking for the team.

Alex came out right behind me but I ran into the coffee shop, spotting Oli posing as one of the homeless person.

Everything happened so soon.

I had tears staining my cheeks, the make-up ruined. I heard a big explosion go off to the right and heard Alexander screaming my name.

Someone grabbed me and knocked me out and dragged me somewhere. The fact that I could still understand what was going on was proof that the drug wasn't working very well.

Fire alarms went off and I heard people run out the see what happened. A few off my guys probably holding back Alex as I heard him scream.

I saw through my blurry vision they rolled out a body similar to mind from a body and placed me inside it.

The zipper closing on me was the last thing I heard.
